Singapore pest control

Singapore is undeniably one of the world’s cleanest cities – after all, with clear pavements and an almost overwhelming abundance of bins lined up along our streets, it’s hardly difficult to see why! However, don’t let the glamour of living in the world’s most spotless country fool you into letting down your guard when it comes to pest control! Although Singapore pest control is not frequently spoken about, the problem of pests in Singapore is still very real indeed!

Some of you may be wondering, “Pests? What pests? I’ve certainly never seen pests in Singapore before!”

Well, if this is the case, then you are certainly a lucky soul to have never encountered the horror and fear of discovering pests lurking around in your home. However, not everyone in Singapore will be as lucky. After all, there are various types of Singapore pest control problems that have plagued several of the more unfortunate households in Singapore. If you have yet to encounter Singapore pest control problems in your home, this certainly does not mean that pests will never enter your home! It’s always better to be prepared than to be taken by surprise when you find that your home has been absolutely invaded by a colony of cockroaches upon returning home from work!

In this article, we will introduce you to a few types of common Singapore pest control problems. Read on to know more about Singapore pest control issues that commonly affect local households, and make due preparations and preventions in order to avoid falling victim to these terrible pest attacks!

Cockroaches

One of the most prevalent Singapore pest control issues most commonly faced by households would be cockroach infestations.

Given the fact that most cockroaches are able to fly, and that they are also fully capable of scaling across tall walls, it is indeed little wonder that cockroaches tend to find new homes in HDB flats which are pretty much everywhere in Singapore!

Furthermore, cockroaches are able to reproduce and multiply to large numbers in just mere weeks, making it all the more easy for cockroach infestations to occur in homes.

A cockroach infestation may be difficult to spot; after all, cockroaches are extremely cunning creatures which are able to flatten their bodies in order to squeeze through small crevices and holes. As such, this would make them particularly difficult to spot. In fact, you’ll never know if a cockroach is hiding right under the couch that you’re currently sitting on!

Cockroaches gravitate towards dark and moist spaces. As such, in order to ensure that your home remains a safe haven which is free of cockroach infestations for your precious children, always make sure that you clean out hotspots in your home such as the space behind your stove or fridge, under couches and behind peeling wallpapers regularly to ensure that they have no chance of breeding in your home!
If you discover large hordes of cockroaches in your home, then it is best to call down a Singapore pest control expert to help you rectify the cockroach infestation immediately, and ensure that every vile cockroach in your home is eliminated.

Termites

Termites are yet another source of most Singapore pest control problems, given our dense living structure in Singapore – after all, Singapore has the most buildings per square kilometre in the world, and all the wood used in such structural buildings as well as furniture in our homes can be used as fodder to breed termites! In addition, the humid weather in Singapore makes it particularly difficult for any spillages or moisture spots to be dried up, and when wooden furniture, walls or floorings are dampened, it certainly makes for a particularly inviting situation for hungry termites.

Home infestations by termites are extremely common Singapore pest control problems. In fact, 1 in every 10 households in Singapore has probably fallen victim to a termite infestation at least once. As such, it is of utmost importance that you keep your guards up and know more about what causes termites infestations in order to stave off any attacks by termites on you home!

Termites tend to proliferate on damp or moist wooden surfaces. Given that they feed on the cellulose present in such wood, termites can not only scare your ignorant toddler into a crying fit, but can also cause you to incur up to hundreds in terms of housing or furniture damages! Yes, despite their small size, termites are indeed remarkably fearsome creatures!
